National candidate /u/dyljam addresses locals at Urenui Bowling Club, speaking about National's agriculture and environmental policies.

"Thank you everyone for coming here this afternoon."

"Several of you that I have met today have spoken out against Labour's ban on dairy farms, emphasising how much it will hurt farmers and the local economy"

"The Labour Party time and time again have proven just how much they're willing to sell-out to the inner-city Greens."

"The National Party is dedicated to farmers and the environment. But we realise that, even though it is very important to protect the environment, this should not come at the cost of hurting rural New Zealand."

"If elected, National will stand against any water taxes. These have hindered farming and hurt those who work on the land. We'll also work with milk companies to ensure that our milk is being traded for the best prices."

"We'll also work to ensure that all rivers are mad swimmable by the year 2060."

"The National Party will always stand with farmers. Unlike Labour, we acknowledge that we can't put the environment ahead of the livelihoods of Kiwis."

"Instead, we must reach a balance between doing what's right for the environment, and protecting all Kiwis, including those who work in agriculture."
